My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^

Thanks for the help guys.
I'll keep an open mind about the Victini.
I got it from someone in France and thankfully I only traded an ordinary Rayquaza for it, so even if it is a hacked one then I haven't traded away anything too precious.

Current Level: 50
Stats: 145/157/67/101/96/112

Pokeball Caught In: Cherish Ball
Any other notes?: So, I got this pokemon from the Wifi chat, from a regular Wifi user. The problem I am having is that, when viewing the pokemon, where the CherishBall sprite is above the image of the pokemon, there is NO name. The same case with the OT. I was under the intention this was a Korean Pikachu Cafe Electivire. I have read in some places that Korean characters do not appear on Non-Korean games. Is this true? If so I have Korean Movie11 Shiny Hydreigon and Nintendo of Korea Manaphy. These names and OT's show fine. I also have a Korean Darkrai (ID 07038) with the same problem as Electivire. Can anyone shed light on this for me please? I'd appretiate it so much.
EDIT: I have checked ID no's and they seem to corrospond, along with natures and movesets of both Darkrai and Electivire... Help!
EDIT2: They both have gift ribbons aswell.

Are these on gen 4 or gen 5? If they are gen 5 they are hacked, but if they are gen 4 they may be okay. Gen 4 games didn't have the Korean character map programmed into the games and so Korean pokemon were never meant to be traded to any other gen 4 game other than Korean ones. I suppose that without the characters programmed in, the game might display nothing since they don't understand what is suppose to be there (much like how old computers would display squares as oppose to Asian characters before all languages were supported by default). I'm not sure how a gen 4 game would handle a Korean pokemon file though, so maybe someone with more gen 4 event knowledge can say for sure. Regardless though, if this is gen 5, they are hacked, and if it is gen 4, they might be okay.

I see, the person I traded them from apparently had to transfer them from G4 - G5, but his DS is 2 days ahead of time.. Maybe in a couple days they will update? Or am I being a little too optimistic? Ive had it before when a pokemon traded to me was transferred ahead of actual time, and then turned out to be legit xD. That was only a simple jap ditto. The pokemon were apparently transferred on 23/2/2013. I hope They are legit ^.^ But yes its Gen5.

Date means nothing in terms of a pokemon being legal or not, in 2 days your pokemon will be the same as it is now. Keep in mind, the DS is nothing but a computer and has no idea what day or time it is in the real world, so as far as the computer is concerned, date means nothing.

As for the transfer, Korean pokemon in gen 4 needed to be extracted from .pkm files if they were to be traded around and even then, they couldn't be sent to any language gen 4 game aside from a Korean one. If the person you traded with sent a Korean pokemon to an English game, then transferred the pokemon from there, the data might have been corrupted due to the missing character map and didn't correct itself upon transfer.

Since these pokemon are on a gen 5 game, they are illegal.

Ah well, I will release them then and accept my losses xD. I will give it a night to see if anyone else offers up an opinion, otherwise they will go poof. Thats for your help Dewey, appretiate it dude. Have a good evening

If the ones you saw on pokecheck were legit, then these are probably fine too as they were indeed most likely downloaded (the IVs are not flawless are they? If they are "random" IVs that match up perfectly than it is pretty much guaranteed that they were downloaded). If they are legal on pokecheck, then they seem to be fine. As for what this means, well that is up to you to decide. If you are unhappy trading away one of your pokemon for something you could have just downloaded yourself for free, then you might want to request a trade back. If you are content that it is probably legit and don't care that it is on pokecheck then just keep it. (And keep in mind too that there is no way, barring a confession, to know if the person you traded it from got it in a trade too or originally downloaded it themselves just to trade to you.)
